Exceptional performance for cinematography with full-frame compatibility - The Samyang 12mm T3.1 VDSLR ED AS NCS Fisheye lens is the cine/video version of the Samyang 12mm f2.8 lens featuring the same excellent optics, but with an integrated geared ring system for video platforms equipped with follow focus systems. Full-frame compatible, suitable for interchangeable lens cameras and camcorders fitted with a 24x36mm (full-frame) or smaller sensor.

The Samyang 12mm T3.1 is a fast ultra wide-angle fisheye lens offering 180 degrees on a full-frame sensor (24 x 36mm format). Specially designed for full-frame cameras such as the Canon 5D, Nikon D800, D810, or Sony A7, A7R, A7s etc., this 12mm is compatible with cameras fitted with smaller sensors, and is therefore available on special order for other mounts, such as Fujifilm X, Pentax K, Sony A, Canon M, Samsung NX, Olympus Four-Thirds, and Micro Four Thirds (MFT) for Panasonic and Olympus mirrorless cameras.

The Samyang 12mm fisheye is a manual lens, with manual focus. In terms of optics, it is one of the most advanced "fisheye" lenses.

With excellent optical construction and design, it comprises 12 optical elements arranged in 8 groups, including three ED low-dispersion glass elements and two aspherical elements ensuring perfect image depth and minimising chromatic aberration.

The Samyang 12mm T3.1 fisheye features a highly effective NCS nanocrystal anti-reflection coating applied with standard UMC coatings, offering precise focus, high contrast and natural colour reproduction even at full aperture, and makes an excellent lens to use in various lighting conditions with its fast T3.1 aperture.

The 7 circular aperture blades create excellent bokeh for an ultra wide-angle lens. The lens body is compact and robust as it is made from high-strength aluminium. The removable petal-shaped lens hood minimises flare and ghosting.

Fisheye lenses are popular for special effects where distortion, exaggerated perspective or extreme depth of field are desired. Samyang fisheye lenses can also produce 360° panoramas and virtual tours, including full 360-degree images with the use of various third-party software, available from other suppliers.

The Samyang 12mm 2.8 fisheye features a removable lens hood.

Available in Canon, Nikon and Sony E mounts. Other mounts are available on special order, including Pentax, Sony A, Canon M, Fujifilm X, Samsung NX, Four-Thirds and Micro Four Thirds (MFT).
